ok, my friend eddie has invented a new game, i think you will like it.
no, really, he did.
it’s called ‘squinnitch’, and it’s sort of a cross between squash and tennis, so i don’t really know where ‘squinnitch’ comes from, linguistically, cos eddie doesn’t seem like much of a harry potter fan.
here’s how you play:
you take a room without furniture (in eddie’s case it’s a yoga studio that isn’t being used for yoga at the time), 2 tennis rackets, some tennis balls, and a coconut.
2 players face each other from different sides of the room and hit the tennis ball back and forth.
the object is to keep the ball from rolling on your side. as long as the ball is bouncing it’s in play. when it starts to roll on your side your opponent gets a point.
and you get five points if you hit your opponents coconut with the ball.
it is my new favorite game. i imagine that at some point it will be considered for inclusion in the olympics.
that’s it.
